Regular Deer Seasons End: Harvest of Nearly 113,000 Animals
Posted 18 January, 2012
The
final regular deer season ended Jan. 10 when the late season
muzzleloader and the archery season closed. Deer hunters had reported
taking nearly 113,000 deer at the end of the season which is about 4
percent lower than was reported last year at this time and about 21
percent below the reported harvest in 2006.
While the harvest is lower, the number of deer licenses issued during the regular seasons has stayed about the same since 2006.
“The
reduced kill is a result of the reduced deer population,” said Dale
Garner, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Wildlife
Bureau. “Deer numbers in many areas are near the established goal. We
continue to hear complaints from hunters that they did not see the
number of deer that they had in the past and some are voicing their
concerns that the herd reduction may have gone too far.”
Hunts
for antlerless deer continue until Jan. 29, in select counties and
urban areas. Even though licenses may be available, not all areas in
these counties need the extra harvest, Garner said. Hunters need to
work with the landowner where they hunt to determine if extra does need
to be taken.
The DNR will review the harvest and population
surveys after the seasons are complete in January and make proposals to
reduce the deer kill and stabilize deer numbers. Reductions in the
harvest were proposed in 2011 but not adopted. |
